The first time I visited Lake Crescent, some time in the 1970's, I immediately felt as if I had been dropped into the Adirondacks of upstate New York. The dark blue of the waters and the heavy forestation down to the shore line were very similar to what I had seen in the Adirondacks and nearby areas. Adding to that sense of being in rural upstate New York are these classic Adirondack chairs, a style which was first created in the early 1900's by a man vacationing in the Adirondack mountains.
